Discovery of spontaneous mesoscopic strain waves in nematic domains using dark-field X-ray microscopy
Kaan Alp Yay, W. Joe Meese, Elliot Kisiel +5
Electronic nematic order is a correlated phase of matter in which low-energy electronic states spontaneously break a discrete rotational symmetry of a crystal lattice. Bilinear cou…

Charge order-driven nematicity in the nickel-pnictide superconductor BaSrNiAs
Thomas Johnson, Camille Bernal-Choban, Sangjun Lee +8
Nematic order refers to the spontaneous breaking of rotational symmetry while preserving translational symmetry. First identified in classical liquid crystals, nematic order arises…
